For many, Thanksgiving revolves around a traditional yet extravagant dinner. Each year, we look forward to succulent turkey, creamy mashed potatoes and warm apple pie. But, every now and again, it’s exciting to mix things up. One of our favorite ways to do this is by spending Thanksgiving on the road, exploring Florida by RV. Luckily, this kind of adventure doesn’t mean you have to skip out on your highly-anticipated meal. Follow our best tips and tricks on savoring an adventurous holiday without skipping your favorite holiday recipes.
Plan Ahead
Have a couple days before your trip? Start preparing your most delicious side dishes in advance and store them in your RV fridge or freezer. On Thanksgiving Day, you can easily pop them in the oven and they’ll be ready to serve! Best of all, you’ll avoid piles of dishes and can truly enjoy the day.
Crockpot Convenience
It’s no surprise that slow cookers have increasingly become more popular. This appliance is convenient, easy to transport and cooks delicious food with little effort. To add more simplicity, find a recipe, mix the ingredients together and store in a ziplock bag before your trip. The morning of Thanksgiving, empty it into your crockpot and your meal will be ready by the time dinner rolls around.
Prepare Smaller Dishes
If you’re traveling in an RV during the holidays, you may have fewer mouths to feed. If this is the care, you don’t need to cook an entire turkey and can make fewer side dishes. Plan your menu in advance and remember that you don’t need to go all-out every year. You can enjoy a wonderful dinner and won’t have to worry about having loads of leftovers that will go to waste.
Dutch Oven
Did you know that you can cook turkey in a dutch oven? If you want to spare some room in your actual oven, bringing one alone is the perfect solution. Check out one of the most delicious Dutch Oven Turkey recipe from Where is My Spoon here. This fast and simple method guarantees juicy turkey every single time.
Use Campsite Grills
If there’s a grill at your campsite, we recommend taking full advantage of it. Rather than crowding your kitchen, you can grill some of your side dishes to perfection. Whether you’re wanting to make corn, sweet potato and even dessert, the possibilities are endless.
